A few weeks ago I shot Cort and Ashley's beautiful wedding at the St. Regis. It was an amazing day with awesome vendors. It was designed and coordinated by one of my favorite people, Kerrie Underhill, of Platinum Weddings by Kerrie.

I picked a ton to share today. Here are a "few" of my favorites.

Meet Benjamin. Apparently if you get a gigantic suite at the St. Regis you also get Benjamin. Benjamin informed Ashley that he was there to do whatever she needed. Whether that was getting scotch tape, pouring champagne, pressing clothes... whatever you might need. I need a Benjamin.

Can't complain about finding a sweet red row boat on the beach!

I love their reactions while making their way through the crowd in the grand entrance!

Here's where I got carried away... All the amazing paper details were designed by Jocey Bella Invites.

This was a really special wedding for me. I've know Brooke most of her life. Our families have been the best of friends for what seems like forever and we've become this homogenized group affectionately known as "the fam". All that to say, Brooke's like a little sister to me.

Trever started dating Brooke about 5 years ago and from the day I met him I just knew he'd be a perfect addition to the family. We hit it off immediately and over the past several years he's become one of my closest friends. I was a groomsmen in the wedding so I didn't shoot the whole thing but they asked if I'd take them out for some portraits after the ceremony.

These two are almost impossible to take a bad picture of. I still have a ton of images to go through from this wedding but I wanted to put a few up for them to see on their honeymoon.

I love you guys!

Jill and Harry came from the UK to have their wedding at Jill's mom's beautiful home in Fullerton. It was coordinated by one of my favorite people to work with, Courtney Toney! The location was sweet, the flowers and details were awesome and the couple was amazing. This wedding was a dream to shoot. Anyone else having a rad backyard wedding give me a call! I loved it!

These are two of my favorite images from the entire day. It was just getting dark, and it was just about time to put the flash on when I noticed them. I had my 50 1.2 on and I shot these at ISO 3200 at f1.8 at an 80th of a second. I could have gotten a much cleaner file shooting with a flash but it wouldn't have the same feel. I just love these.

Last week I shot Thanh and Nguyen. They know ahead of time that we're not going to have a lot of time on the day of the wedding so we scheduled a couple of hours to make sure we had some great stuff of them alone so we can be a little more relaxed when the day comes. We went to Laguna Beach and had a great time and were blessed with incredible light. Here are a few favorites!

A few weeks ago I shot Emily and Colby's wedding outside Tulsa.  I'll be posting more soon but I was working on the images today and wanted to share a couple.

A few weeks ago I went out to Ventura to shoot little 9 day old Will.

After coming home from the Mammoth men trip and shooting two weddings this weekend, I'm just beginning to dig myself out of the mountain of work that piled up while I was gone.

A couple of weeks ago I shot Katherine and Jim's engagement pictures in Seal beach and had the best time. After the shoot they took me to Beachwood BBQ, right on Main St. It was awesome. If you're ever in the area you need to check it out. Make sure to try to Mac and Cheese if you go... its off the hook.

At the end of the shoot we were on the pier and I looked down to see these surfers just waiting to catch the last wave of the day back in. I don't know why but I really like this image.

The books are closed on day three of the most epic man-cation... ever. Here is my visual account of the day. Go look at the MAMMOTH MEN blog for a more complete view of our adventures.

The was a cougar on the prowl in San Miguel... Rene Russo! She took quite a liking to Fred. Presumably because he's the only single guy among us. Oh, and because... she's a cougar!

No pictures to show yet but we have a poll on the Mammoth Men blog that gives you... yes YOU... the power to make us do whatever you want. Well as long as what you want us to do is one of the four options we give you on the poll. The power to decide is in your hands.

In the words of P.Diddy... SHAKE YOUR TAILFEATHER.

Wait, that's no the right quote... VOTE OR DIE.

Yeah that's the one.

This morning we checked out the poll to see what our tasks were for the day.  The first one on the docket was to get to Solvang and eat some danish waffles in the Danish capitol of the United States.  We met up with the one and only Jose Villa, had an incredible breakfast and then set out on our next task... picking blueberries.

We had this idea for an image of someones face just covered in blue berries. So Justin volunteered, grabbed a handful of berries and buried his face in them. We all gathered around expecting to see him covered in blue juice. Turns out, blueberries... not so blue.
